Beskrivning av organisationen

YMCA is the oldest and largest youth charity in the world In England and Wales, we intensively support 228,000 young people every year, ensuring each young person we meet has an opportunity to belong, contribute and thrive. As the YMCA federation in England and Wales, we focus on the following key areas of work: Support & Advice, Accommodation, Family Work, Health & Wellbeing, Training & Education, Policy and Research. YMCA England focuses on young people, helping them to play an active and fulfilling role within their communities: this is our youth-minded community approach. We also provide a wide range of community-based activities and services to help meet local needs wherever we are based. Each YMCA in England and Wales is an individual, self-governing charity that affiliates to the National Council. YMCA England supports local YMCAs by promoting high standards of working, sharing best practice, fundraising on their behalf, partnering with them to pilot new projects and providing training opportunities for staff and volunteers. We give local YMCAs a national voice by speaking with government, key policy makers and national media, and we represent them by advocating for the needs of the most vulnerable young people in England.
